Although ATP is critically important to cells, there haven't been good ways for scientists to track how it changes in living cells. Previous ATP sensors were dim, slow, or difficult to use.

In particular, they looked at the energy requirements of these cells during ischemia-reperfusion injury. Podocytes are suggested to rely on adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy carrier in ...

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

The enzyme which makes ATP is called ATP synthase, or ATPase, and sits on the mitochondria in animal cells or chloroplasts in plant cells. Walker first determined the amino acid sequence of this ...

In the June issue of Cancer Letters, the research team reported that bullatacin preferentially killed the multidrug-resistant cells by inhibiting the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. ATP ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

We measured ATP release during hypotonic stress using a real-time ATP luminescence imaging system in breast cell lines and in primary cultured mammary cells. In breast cell lines, ATP was released ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial endosymbiont still preserve distinct genes and are known for their ability to ...
